The Activity Monitor is the Universal Controller central console of activity, a real-time display of task instance status. It displays a list of task instances contained in the Universal Controller All Task Instances table (ops_exec), as controlled by your selections in the Activity Monitor Selections task bar at the top of the list.
A task bar below the list allows you to control displays settings for the selected task instances.
...
The Activity Monitor allows you to issue commands against task instances. You can also issue commands from the Task Instances list (and the Task Instances list for a specific task). In cases where the task Details did not instruct the Controller to retrieve output automatically, you can retrieve output manually from any completed task.

From the Automation Center navigation pane, select Task Instances > Activity. The Activity Monitor displays task status information based on the settings in the Activity Monitor Selections Task Bar 206389912.

...
You can manually start the Activity Monitor at any time by clicking the Start button in the center of the screen. You also can manually start or stop the Activity Monitor at any time from the Activity Monitor Display task bar. However, on your next login to the Controller, the Activity Monitor Automatically value will determine whether or not the Activity Monitor automatically starts monitoring the Controller.
